I can only assume that was supposed to be a negative rep. Oh well. With those five words you've just confirmed several of the reasons why I LEFT Freedom and haven't come back, sir. Good job!

You just trashed the most populous server and are surprised you get dissed back?

Successful TFs or not, you're treading on the City Life path here

Oh, and by the way

where did I say that Freedom was 'the best' server?

certainly not in this thread

there's a reason I never downrate or uprate anyone, just make comments and tags

Shortly after my initial post, my health went into a decline (chronic pain disorder). My apologies for not responding - playing the game every few days itself has been difficult.

With Issue 16 I've found that it is much more difficult to maintain an increase in influence, the market went south in a few ways and solo farming isn't providing the kind of inf to keep up the contests. However...

I'm working on a very different type of contest. The trick is that I *cannot* provide the rules in advance nor give any details besides how much Inf will be awarded. This means severe planning stage at this time as I brainstorm with a few friends on how to generate interest on this mystery contest. I'm in that planning stage now and will aim for the contest to be run in the second week of October.

There will be multiple Inf prizes awarded.

At least 3 prizes will be 50 Million Inf and if I can earn enough over the next few weeks there will be a prize of 150 -300 Million.

I won't give details at this time, but I'm sure to be accused of feeding my ego once the contest is underway.

Use the ignore feature. Those idiots just disqualified themselves from your contests, and with them ignored you won't have their troll comments in your chatbox cluttering up and confusing the responses from the players wanting to participate.

Glad you were able to get helped here!
Most definitely.

Aett is the iceberg to the forum's Titanic.

To the OP... I really like your ideas and I encourage you to continue with them. You'll never be able to please everybody all the time... so just be true to yourself and do whatever you do to enjoy the game.

What you're doing isn't hurting anybody... people are just being sour grapes (no offense to Westley!)

So keep at it...and welcome to the forums!

Thanks to everyone for the kind welcomes. Man, I used to dread using message boards but I've been feeling Super welcome coming here!

Quick question regarding my enigmatic contest - what day & time would be considered ideal for a larger turnout? I'm considering a Saturday evening around 7 - 9pm. Here are some details to consider:

The contest requires an hour commitment
The contest location is defaulted to Atlas Park as it needs to be something lowbies can easily access
The more participants involved, the more prizes I will award - up to a limit of 700M
If the turnout is too small, I may end up giving out "door prizes" consisting of rare recipes (gave away Numina's, Miracle, and the regenerative tissue procs in the past)

I'll be putting together some kind of advertisement on the freedom server boards with a friend of mine and start hamming it up when we get closer to the time of the contest.

And oops, getting in trouble for doing this at work! Gotta run gang
